FIND RELIGIOUS HAVEN AT HANUMAN GARHI
Nothing can be as peaceful as a Hanuman temple perched on a hill, 6401 meters above sea level. The best time of the day would be early morning. The morning Aarti would be the perfect way to start your day. The view from the temple is mesmerizing, to say the least. Hence, the temple is the best location to witness the Nainital sunrise. Especially during Navratri and Ramnavmi, when special celebrations take place at the temple, with a small fair being organized as well. But even if you can’t visit around this time for some reason, don’t worry, because Hanuman Garhi is beautiful throughout the year!
GO DIRT BIKING THROUGH THE MUDDY HILLS
If you are a true adventure lover, an ATV ride might just be the perfect activity for you! Bhimtal boasts beautiful muddy terrains which make up for the best dirt biking tracks. Establishments like Adventure Mania provide you with ATV bikes and dirt biking tracks to add that thrill to your trip! This is truly the best way to strike a balance between enjoying peaceful scenery, and getting an adrenaline rush.
ENJOY A COSY PICNIC WITH A VIEW
If you’re in Bhimtal, you must visit Victoria Dam. The Dam is small but adorned with beautiful gardens on either side. It has the best views of the beauty Bhimtal has to offer.
